The Katadyn Hiker Microfilter is the best selling microfilter in the US Outdoor Market.  With all of the new products out there that zap water clean, or are the size of a stamp and can fit anywhere, the Katadyn Hiker still rises above the rest, and the reason why? With the Hiker Microfilter there are no gimmicks!  A durable, easy to use pump that has a unique pleated cartridge design for quick pumping.  The Hiker is compatible with hydration bladders which is very convenient when water is scarce or difficult to access.  The kit includes a prefilter for cleaning water while it is being pumped, a bottle adapter and a carry bag to keep it clean from dirt or debris.  No cleaning needed with its glass fiber technology, so if backpacking or trekking is what you like to do, we suggest carrying this filter for safety and convenience.
